The next time you get the urge to doom-scroll and slide into a place of self-imposed pessimism and hopelessness, remember the words of St. Fred:
I’m proud of you, too!
Let’s stop making it so easy for the diabolical to twist our minds into negative knots. Stop worrying about false labels like “truth warrior” and instead, reclaim your soul.
“Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (Philippians 4:8)

Fred Rogers' compassionate advice has always been broadly applicable.
good advice! more people should do exactly that, because they are totally brainwashed by the talking heads. Youtube made a move that makes me turn even that off - I used to have it without commercials, and since about a month they blocked my adblockers and now it is commercial every 5 minutes again. I refuse to pay for an adblocker. So I added some more substackers to read LOL
